Built-In Digital Tuner

SRS TruSurround XT HD
Samsung TVs are equipped with impressive audio technology--built-in speakers deliver an enhanced, virtual surround-sound listening experience that brings your HDTV experience to another level.

Contrast and brightness levels achieve new heights with a 15,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio.

A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

8ms Response
One of the most important features for an LCD panel is the pixel response time. Response time refers to the amount of time it takes a pixel to "refresh" itself-to go from being active to being inactive, (ready to be re-activated). The lower the milliseconds, the faster the response time. A very fast 8ms response time virtually eliminates any blurring and gives you smooth-motion action scenes.

Wide Color Enhancer 2
Whereas blue and green shaded areas of the picture are washed out on conventional screens, wide color enhancer lets you experience more brilliant colors. Simply imagine a wider range of color than you ever thought possible.

ENERGY STAR Compliant
By being ENERGY STAR compliant you are assured that your SAMSUNG model is helping the environment by using less energy while saving you money. ENERGY STAR is a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy promoting energy efficiency.

Game Mode

Which Size HDTV is Right for My Room?

With standard-definition TVs, the rule used to be that viewers would feel comfortable watching a set from a distance of 3 to 6 times the screen size in inches. With HDTV, the resolution is so much better that you can sit closer to a larger TV without noticing the pixels. So with HDTVs, the rule tends to be you can sit anywhere from 1.5 to 3 times the screen size (in inches) for the best experience. If you know the size of the room you have already, where you want to sit, and where your new HDTV should go once you get it, you can figure out the size HDTV you should get. Minimum size = Viewing distance/3 Maximum size=Viewing distance/1.5

Customer Reviews

Good little TV
Received TV very quickly, installed it on my sailboat to replace old non-digital TV. VERY sensitive with amplified marine antenna, receives 28 channels in Tampa Bay FL area. Very easy to set up, intuitive in operation. EXCELLENT PICTURE.

ONLY complaint is low audio output, 100% is barely adequate, which was unexpected as all other larger Samsung TV's I have(3 sized 22", 32", 40") have very good audio.

Good, just not as great as other larger Samsung TV's
Pros:
Nice design
Fast channel switching
Lots of input options
Can be wall mounted, bracket included.

Cons
Poor speakers, hollow tinny sound that comes from the bottom
Poor viewing angle unless almost direct on. On top of the refrigerator is not a good choice, can't tilt downward

For $300 I expected more than this mostly below average HDTV.

Poor Sound
I came across this TV and I used it for about a week. [Disclaimer : The product I used was from a local store]
Its stylish, and adds a lot of picture enrichment. If you love sports or action movies, try the game mode and you will notice a distinct difference. Quite impressive.

This TV will not be a good fit in the living room, for one reason it is quite small, and also the bigger reason, the sound quality is very poor.

If you are looking at a small room, I would say this is a good fit, but definitely not for the living room.
Even if you are desperate to pick this one up, you may want to try the WHITE model, which is really cool to look at [http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001U88P8K?ie=UTF8&tag=tvrecommendations-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B001U88P8K]
